Upon seeing the situation, Judith hastily leaped into the air, floating there. With a look of shock, she watched as the small island vanished into the vast expanse of the sea.
Without a place to land, the four Demonic Cultivators were clearly beginning to panic.
If any one of them were to accidentally fall into the Dead Sea, they would instantly turn into a pile of ash.
Seizing the moment, Jared struck with his sword. One of the Demonic Cultivators couldn’t dodge in time and was stabbed straight in the chest. In an instant, he lost all his spiritual energy and fell straight into the Dead Sea.
In the midst of the raging waves, it took only a few fleeting moments for the Demonic Cultivator to turn into a skeleton, floating atop the ocean surface.
“Retreat. Let’s disengage first. We need to find a place to land!”
In response, Abel realized that their hopes of capturing Jared were somewhat unrealistic. So, he decided to escape with his men first.
Along with the remaining two Demonic Cultivators, Abel beat a hasty retreat toward the small island where Judith had initially resided.
Without any hesitation, Jared immediately grabbed Judith’s hand and chased after them.
Seeing Jared and Judith in pursuit, the three Demonic Cultivators were filled with panic. Instead of securing the secret realm as they had planned, they had ironically become the prey themselves.
“Abel, send out a distress signal quickly, or else we’re all going to die here,” a fearful Demonic Cultivator said to Abel.
Abel slightly furrowed his brows, finally giving a nod. He then released a beam of red light.
A crimson glow shot straight into the sky, followed by a resounding blast.
“Crap, these guys are calling for help. I bet their accomplices are nearby!”
Upon noticing the situation, Judith hastily commented to Jared.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “No matter how many come, we’ll take them all down. Not a single one of these Demon Seal Alliance dogs will be spared!”
Jared harbored deep resentment toward the evil-doing Demonic Cultivators of Demon Seal Alliance.
The three Demonic Cultivators arrived above the small island. They barely touched down on it before they immediately leaped up again, making a swift escape into the distance.
Jared, together with Judith, landed on the small island. Initially, he intended to take Judith and pursue further, but he was abruptly halted by Judith’s firm grip.
“Hold on, since you’ve disrupted the spirit spring on this small island, it’s likely to sink. I need to take the divine tree with me!” Judith said.
“The divine tree? What’s that?”
Jared wore a look of utter confusion.
Judith, however, remained silent, leading Jared toward a cliff instead.
At the edge of the cliff, there was a tree. It wasn’t particularly large and was growing from a crevice in the rocks. From this tree, there was a constant emanation of celestial energy.
Jared was taken aback, staring incredulously at the tree.
Why is this tree emitting celestial energy? Could it be that the remains of an immortal is buried beneath it? But this tree was growing out from a crevice in the rocks. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any bones belonging to an immortal beneath it. So, where is this celestial energy coming from?
“This is the divine tree. Over the years on this island, I’ve been honing my skills through the power of the spirit spring and this divine tree. But you destroyed the Spirit Spring, and now only this tree remains. I need to take the divine tree with me. Otherwise, when the island sinks, the tree will also meet its doom.”
After Judith finished speaking, she leaped toward the sacred tree..
She planned to uproot the divine tree entirely and then find a place to replant it. That way, she could continue her cultivation using it.
However, as Judith approached the divine tree, a dark green glow suddenly emanated from the tree itself.
The radiant beams converged into spiritual blades, launching an attack on Judith and preventing her from getting any closer..
The sudden turn of events filled Judith with terror. Her body suffered several wounds from the spiritual blade attacks, and she was almost plunged into the Dead Sea.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared immediately sprang into action and brought Judith back.
Judith and Jared were both taken aback as they stared at the divine tree before them. They couldn’t comprehend how a mere tree could possibly launch an attack.
Could it be that the tree is alive?
Jared immediately employed magecraft, sealing off the surrounding area, then reached out to grab the tree.
